So I plan on staying here awhile, and I know this might seem very trivial, but to me (and I'm sure others who have it) this is... really, really offensive.
I was browsing your full list of emoijis and it looks like there's an emoji labeled 'bipolar' with the image depicting someone screaming like they're crazy. This depects a serious mental affliction that hundreds of people have, including myself, and sends the message that bipolar = crazy.
I don't know how the emojis on this site works, or if it's possible to have it removed or please at least have the wording changed, but I'd hope the staff on this site would agree that demonizing mental illness is not okay?
I know I'm rather new, but I just left a site I'd been a part of for almost eight years because once I got involved in modding, I saw a whole new side to the site that made me want to throw up in regards to how they handled bullying, sexual harassment, and so much more.
I know this is a very small issue in the grand scheme of things, and I don't want to go into a whole educational rant (heh) but I hope this will be taken seriously. I'm bipolar, yes. But I'm not crazy, thank you very much. And by having this emoji -bipolar- you're associating any person with bipolar as being 'crazy' and that's not okay.
